This painting shows a wall with four big squares and a row of tall, striped rectangles. The squares are flat and light blue or gray. The stripes below are dark and light, like shadows on a building. The whole thing looks like a sketch of walls and windows. The artist used soft colors and rough lines to make it look like a simple building. The squares might be windows, but they’re empty inside. The stripes look like light hitting a wall at an angle. Check out more work by Chryssa (Vardea-Mavromichali) (1933-2013) next.
